Service Intervals from Patterson Cheney Toyota

Toyota servicing intervals depend as much on time and your driving conditions as it does on distance.

So this means, if you do a lot of km’s, you should have your Toyota serviced with us according to the recommended time based service intervals, rather than the distance travelled.

Short stop-start journeys are one of the harshest forms of work an engine can endure. It means your engine does not get up to optimal operating temperature for an extended period of time so that it can burn off the by-products of combustion. This leads to a reduction in oil efficiency, and in turn can lead to premature engine wear.

Perhaps you use your car more regularly and drive more than the national average (14,600km/yr) and you will reach your kilometre intervals quicker than the average Australian. If this is the case, then your Toyota should be serviced according to the recommended distance travelled.

In short, it’s not only time or distance, it’s whichever you reach first.
